Dear Mr Murdoch: Re Myspace

September 19, 2007 By Dan Thornton

Dear Mr Murdoch,
When News Corp bought Myspace, it led to a few raised eyebrows, but considering the amount of traffic the site created, it seems like a forward thinking move.

And at the very least, most users hoped the resources and funding accompanying a $580 million acquisition might result in improvements in reliability and usability – even if it meant more advertising etc appearing.

Instead we have a very, very slow move towards ideas like displaying the mood of a user, or instant messaging, and the sight of you trying to offload something you don’t really know how to use.

Before you go, can you please make it so an ‘Unexpected Error’ doesn’t occur when I try and approve friends requests, access my Inbox, or in fact, try and do anything? I was willing to refresh endless pages before the likes of Facebook contained everything I need to actually connect with other people, but now I’m logging into Myspace less and less. Even private equity firms try and turn things around before selling their acquirements on to new owners.
Yours
Badger
